I wouldn’t attend school there, but I think some of the classes are really amazing. There are a lot of great art classes offered, but I would rather keep my art as a hobby than to do it all the time. I feel like if I turned my hobby into an all the time thing I would get tired of doing some of my favorite things.

The career site that I visited was Helen Bernhard Bakery. I would love to work at this bakery, I think that it would be a fantastic opportunity. The bakery is huge, and there are so many thing that you can do there. I could learn so much from
